AT the same time that Judge Bradley, the
defeated Democratic candidate for Congress
in the Second District of Rhode Island, is
coming boldly forward to contest the seat of
Congressman Arnold, there is quiet little
move in the Twelfth District of Indiana to
unseat Congressman White, who is Repub-
lican, in favor Of Judge Lowry, defeated
Democratic candidate The significance of
these two contests lies in the balance of par
ties in the House of Representatives. In
case the election of a President Is thrown
into the House of Representatives the con-
stitution provides that each State shall have
a single vote, which may be thrown accord
ing to the desire of major ty of its Con-
gressnen. Insuch case, Maine which has
four Republican Congressmen, would throw
its vote for the Republican candidate; while
New Hampshire, which has one Republican
and one Democratic Congr essman, would
probably lose its vote on account Of the tie
The recent elections leave The Republicans
in control of one more State than is con-
trolled by the Democrats. Rhode Island
with its two Congressman is one of the Re-
publican States; and Indiana with its
thirteen Congressman, of whom seven are
Republicans, is another. But if the Demo-
Gratis could put Judge Bradley in place Of
Congressman Arnold, there would be a
divided delegation from Rhode Island, and
the State would become neutral like New
Hampshire. This would leave the numbers
of the Republican and Democratic States
equal,-a very bad state Of affairs under GER
tain conceivable circumstances. But if one
Republican Congressman could be unseated
in Indiana and Democrat put in his place,
the party strength in that State might be
changed from 7 to 6 in favor Of the Re-.
pubicans to 7 to 6 in favor of the Demo-
Gratis; and Indiana as a Democratic State
would break the deadlock in favor Of the
Democratic Presidential candidate. That
the election of the next President will be
thrown into the House OF Representatives
seems very improbable, but 1t is neyerthe-
less very good precaution for a party to be
prepared for such an emergency. The great
care that has been taken to trump up
charges in favor of Bradley in Rhode Island,
and the simultaneous movement in the
next promising field Of Indiana are suspic-
ious circumstances and point to the conclu-
sion that both movements are part of the
same Democratic enterprise.

OFFICIAL DIGNITY HERE AND ABROAD.
New York Postl
One of the causes which operated to re-
duee Mayor 0'Brien's majority in Boston at
the recent election was the disgust excited
given NJ to sullivan. the champion pugiiist.
The matter has been referred to in Congress
by Senator Morrill,, as an illustration of the
degradation which has overtaken Boston in
consequence of the large preponderance Of
the foreign element in her population, in aid
of the bill he has introduced restricting I'M
migration. Ones condemnation OF OBrlen
would be seyerer but for the reception given
to this same "slugger" by the Prince of
Wales, who has had far better training in
the prophecies of official life than O'Brien
has had, and who receives an immense sal
airy simply for waiting deeorously to succeed
to the throne.
